Intended use:
GARDENA Pumps have been designed for private use
around your house and garden. They are predominantly
destinated for drainage after flooding, transfer of liquids,
draining containers, taking water from wells and shafts,
draining boats and yachts as well as for water aeration and
circulation for a limited period of time.
Liquids to be pumped:
Liquids which can be handled by the GARDENA Pump are
the following: clean and contaminated water (max. particle
size submersible pumps = 5 mm / dirty water pumps =
30 mm) and chlorinated water (prerequisite is the recom-
mended dosage of additives). Dirty water with solid parti-
cles such as sand or stones leads to wear of the turbine
and of the pump base.
The pumps are fully submersible (waterproof sealed) and
can be immersed in the liquid down to a depth of 7 m.
CAUTION! The GARDENA Pumps are not designed
for continuous operation (e.g. continuous circulating
operation) in a pond. Your pump’s life will be short-
ened correspondingly by such operation.
Corrosive, easily combustible or explosive sub-
stances (e. g. gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner),
fats, oils, salt-water and waste water of toilets
and urinals must not be pumped. The temperature
of the liquid handled should not exceed 35 °C.
1. SAFETY
IMPORTANT!
Read the operator’s manual carefully before use and
keep for future reference.
Electrical safety
DANGER!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
The product must be supplied through a residual current
device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30 mA.
The pump must not be used when people are in water.
v
Please contact your electrician.
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’
Association) 0620, mains power cables must not have
a smaller cross-section than the rubber-sheathed cables
of the designation H05RN-F (for Art. Nos. 1783 / 1797)
or H07RN-F (for Art. Nos. 1785 / 1799). The cable length
must be at least 10 m.
Data indicated on the type plate must match technical
data of the mains supply.
v
Take care that the electrical connections are made
within dry area, protected from flooding.
v
Keep mains plug dry.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
DANGER! Electric shock!
With a cut off mains plug, moisture can get into electrical
parts via the mains cable and cause a short circuit.
v
Never cut the mains plug off (e. g. to feed through
wall).
v
Don’t use the power cable for plugging off.
v
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
